At any rate, I'd be shocked if Vladar doesn't get 4 (maybe even 5) starts down the stretch, but is even 7 starts over the next 20-21 days before the playoffs begin really a heavy workload for Markstrom either way? I don't see it. For a high end starting goalie that is about as good as it gets.

What ever happened to reading comprehension? First of all, I didn't give a number as a fireable offense. Here is what I said:

but if he plays Markstrom 8 or 9 times from here, and Markstrom hits the playoffs tired, that is a fire-able offense

The key words in that sentence are 'if' and 'and'. IF Sutter overworks him (for no reason, as they will win the division regardless) AND Maskstrom is tired and thus they lose in the first round...
It's a cause and effect argument, it isn't about the number of games.
